Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Hazel said with a troubled expression, “They have told me it is too dangerous to be a police officer or a doctor. If I dare do that, they will break my legs. In their opinion, it’s better to be a civil servant, so they want me to get a good education and have a fulfilling career.”

“What about you?” asked Joshua, “What do you want to be?”

“Me?” Hazel thought for a while and shook her head, “I’ve never thought about that.”

“Then think about it.” Joshua spoke to her softly, “Don’t worry about anything else, just do what you like.”

Hazel nodded her head in agreement.

Janet held the chopsticks tighter when she heard what Joshua said to Hazel.

Hazel obviously did not understand what Joshua meant. What he truly meant was that he would deal with everything for her while she did what she liked!

Was Joshua serious? Thinking about it, Janet felt the need to do something.

After the meal was over, Joshua asked Jaxson to drive Hazel back to her school. Janet followed behind them.

Joshua watched them leave and then turned to Nanny Carter and asked her, “Nanny, what do you think about Hazel?”

“Miss Hazel is a simple and good girl. You need to watch out for Miss Janet. She likes to come here when she has time off. She looks devious. I am afraid she may do something bad to Miss Hazel.”

Nanny Carter stopped talking suddenly. She then said in a sad voice, “I am sorry, Mr. Joshua. I said too much. Miss Hazel is somewhat like Mrs. Denmark in character and even looks. I feel the need to take care of her.”

“Maybe it’s because I am old, but recently I always think of them.” Nanny smiled bitterly. “Mr. Joshua, please do not mind me talking this much.”

Hazel and Jaxson just reached the gate, and Janet yelled at them.

“Jaxson, don’t you have to attend a meeting for the President?” Janet spoke to him, “There may not be enough time for you to take Miss Hazel home and make it back. What about if I drove her back to school? Miss Hazel, will you mind that?” She proposed.

“Well…” Jaxson hesitated and looked at Hazel.

“It’s alright. Go to your meeting, Mr. Jaxson.” Hazel replied.

“Okay. Thank you then, Janet.” Jaxson nodded to them and drove away.

“Miss Hazel, my car is parked nearby. Please wait for me here. I’ll go get the car.” Janet pointed in the direction of the parking lot.

“Don’t bother.” Hazel shook her head, “I will take a taxi.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She wanted Jaxson’s company to come here because she was afraid that she might have been in danger. Now, she did not want to bother him anymore, so she agreed to a drive from Janet.

Hazel knew Janet disliked her; therefore, she also did not want to bother her.

“How could I let you take a taxi?” Janet said jokingly. “If the president and Jaxson know I failed to keep my promise, they would blame me. You can’t put me in that situation.”

Hazel had to agree.

Janet went to the parking lot to get her car. However, Hazel waited for a long time, and she still had not come to pick her up.

Hazel furrowed her eyebrows and then decided to look for her.

After a few steps, Hazel saw Janet was leaning on her car and talking on the phone.

She heard her name from Janet’s mouth just as she was about to turn around and leave.

“Hazel? I saw her today.” Janet raised her voice when she noticed Hazel from the rearview mirror of a nearby car.

She sneered as she spoke, “You mean the president likes her? How is it possible? She is just one of the girls who have passed the preliminary selection for surrogate mother. Mr. President just wants to get in touch with her and figure out what she is like. After all, what if the candidate for the surrogacy is unwilling to leave in the end and asks to marry the president to get the property?”

Hazel was taken back by her words.

It turned out that the reason Joshua was trying to get close to her was because of the surrogacy?

More importantly, she was just one of his options!

The marriage that he spoke of before was to test her! He had not slept with her just in case she trapped him. He had never mentioned surrogacy to her because he did not want her to be aware of the situation.

She had always wondered why Joshua chased after her all the time even though she was not an extraordinary girl. Now everything made sense.

However, it was a horrible feeling to know others have fooled you.

“Well, when I saw her today, I couldn’t help but have words with her. She did not suspect anything because of the President’s help.”

Janet continued, “But after she left, the President praised me for helping him to test her character. It is an important matter regarding the offspring of the President. I couldn’t be too cautious.”

Hazel lowered her head. She had always felt that when she was with Joshua, he seemed to be hiding something. Everything he had done was to test her?

When Janet saw that Hazel was about to leave, she whispered a few words and then got into the car. She started it immediately to catch up with Hazel.

Janet stopped the car beside Hazel. She rolled down the window and said to Hazel, “Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to answer a call. Get in, I can take you back now.”

“I will get back on my own. You must be very busy. Don’t bother!” Hazel shook her head and declined.

“That’s okay.” Janet smiled a rather kind smile. “And I have something to tell you.”

Hazel wrinkled her eyebrows.

“Get in.” Janet urged her.

Hazel hesitantly got in. Janet looked ahead, saying, “Miss Hazel, I heard that the President had bought you clothes?”

Hazel replied yes.

Janet was lost in thought. How could she get a hold of the items from the President?

She held back her anger and smirked, “I would like them, can you give them to me?”

Hazel was disappointed upon hearing that. She even knew about this! It must be Joshua who commanded her to get back what he bought.

Fair enough, she told him that she would pay for the clothes. Maybe he was embarrassed to ask for the money himself.

“Will you buy them at the original prices?” Asked Hazel.

Hazel would give Joshua the money as promised.

“What?” Janet was surprised.

Should she feel depressed after hearing what she said? Why would she sell them? Did she want money so desperately?

“Then what about I give you a discount? 1% off?” Hazel asked her in a tentative voice.
